Emma was holding Liliana''s hand, treating her like family, and Liliana''s genuine, warm smile showed they were having a great time chatting.


    "Finn, you''re here!" Emma eximed.


    Most of the time, Emma was quite fond of her son, and seeing him approach, she stood up to greet him warmly. "Come over here. I came to check on Liliana and brought her some supplements."


    "You really should have told me sooner that Liliana was expecting. I would''ve flown back from abroad to take care of her." Emma continued.


    "Oh, Mrs. Everly, there''s no need to fuss over me. The baby is still small, and I''m young and capable of looking after myself," Liliana quickly replied.


    Emma waved her hand dismissively. "It''s precisely because you''re young that you might not know everything. That''s why I''m here to help. The baby is, what, two months along now?"


    Liliana nodded, and Emma said, "Perfect, while the baby is still small, let''s get the wedding organized. If we wait until your belly''s bigger, it won''t look as nice in the wedding dress. Plus, it wouldn''t reflect well on the Everly family to have a big belly at the wedding."


    Liliana smiled, not showing any of the typical shyness of a bride-to-be. She spoke with grace, "Mrs. Everly, I know you mean well. I''m easygoing about these things, really. Whatever Finn thinks is fine."


    "Nonsense," Emma said firmly. "You''re the one who''s pregnant and getting married. Your opinion matters just as much."


    Liliana smiled again, but Finnian stood there, his expression cold and silent.


    Seeing her son not saying a word, Emma nudged his arm yfully and chided, "Aren''t you going to say anything? This is your business, you know. Pay attention."


    Finnian''s lips parted slightly, his voice icy, "When did I ever say I was going to marry her?"


    His cold words drained the color from Liliana''s face.


    Emma was momentarily stunned, frowning, "Finn, what do you mean by that? You have a child together, and you don''t n to marry Liliana? How can you be so irresponsible?"


    Finnian ignored her, turning to Liliana, "What did you tell my mom?"


    Liliana''s heart raced as she quickly tried to think. She knew Finnian despised troublemakers, so she hurried to his side and whispered, "Mrs. Emma Everly came to see me today, and before you arrived, she hadn''t mentioned anything about marriage. Otherwise, I would have declined."  s


    Finnian nodded slightly and said to Emma, "Come outside with me."


    Without waiting for a response, he turned and walked out.


    Emma was a bit upset that her son didn''t show her any respect in front of her future daughter-inw. But she couldn''t let it show, so she forced a smile at Lind and swiftly followed him out.

    The car pulled away, and Emma sat in the back seat, her anger growing.


    She couldn''t fathom why her son, who had always been so exemry and whom she was so proud of

    As the scenery outside whipped past, Emma''s eyes grew darker with each passing moment.
